HONOLULU (KHON2) -- No child should ever go hungry, and for growing keiki under the age of 18, this summer they won't.
Thanks to the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program, two meals will be served Monday through Friday at 73 participating schools, excluding state-observed holidays.
Breakfasts will be served from 7:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and lunches from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
The summer food service program is open to all under the age of 18, regardless of public school enrollment status.
“Consistent nutrition is vital to growing children during the summer break when they may not be in school to receive meals,” said Superintendent Keith Hayashi. “We encourage all of our families to make these free meals part of their children’s summer schedules to maintain their healthy development. We are grateful to our participating schools and dedicated cafeteria staff for giving all keiki the opportunity to receive balanced, nutritious meals.”
Schools may opt to serve breakfast only, lunch only, or both meals, and there is no grab-and-go option.
